March App-O-Rama Updates: US Airways, British Airways, Alaska Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, and FlexPerks AMEX

Posted on by . 80 Replies

Good morning everyone, happy April Fool’s Day.  No pranks today for me, I don’t have time for those.  Before I went on my RV road trip, I did a mini App-O-Rama in mid March and it’s been almost 2 weeks, so I can now share all my results.  If you have been reading my blog for a while, you probably know about my ongoing battle with Barclays.  I have applied for 5-6 Barclays credit cards over the last 2 years or so and have been denied every time.  Since the Barclays US Airways Credit Card is going away very soon, I thought I would try for that card one more time.  The sign up bonus is 50,000 US Airways miles (now those are 50,000 American Airlines miles) after your first purchase.

(Hat Tip to Doctor of Credit)

Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend.  Last week, I wrote Poll: Is Evolve Money Dead? 3% Fee for Gift Card Payments Next Week.  But according to Doctor of Credit’s post, Evolve Money is allowing certain credit cards to be added as a debit card and used to pay bills.  I added a few credit cards to my account and here are my successes and failures.  Only my US Bank Club Carlson Business Credit Card worked, but apparently Barclays Arrival Plus is working as well.

Guest Post: My Failed 1-800-Flowers Companion Pass Experience

Posted on by . 8 Replies

Good afternoon everyone, I have another guest post from my buddy Nigel.  You might remember him from such great blog posts as Guest Post: 5 Card App-O-Rama (Diners Club, Club Carlson, US Airways, Southwest Airlines Plus, and Citizens Bank).  Without further ado, take it away Nigel!

Hello TWG readers, I wanted to share my experience with the recent 1-800-Flowers promotion to help qualify for the Southwest Airlines Companion Pass.  The inspiration and instructions for this endeavor came from Frequent Miler’s post: How to Feed the Hungry and Fly for Free.

In brief, through February 14th, 1-800-Flowers was running a promotion where every qualifying order of at least $29.99 with promo code RR36 or RR43 would earn 1,750 Southwest Airlines Rapid Reward Points.  In November, there was a similar promotion and many people reported that the points posted as Companion Pass qualifying points.  Rather than further depleting my Chase Ultimate Rewards Points or Hyatt Gold Passport account balances, I decided to go for it.
